BASKET FOR CENTRIFUGAL MACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 748,756, dated January5, 1904. Application filed March 6, 1903. Serial No. 146,583. (Nomodel.)

' Emperor, residing at 4: Neu stadt, Zittau, Germany, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Baskets for CentrifugalSeparators, of whichvthe following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in baskets of centrifugal and likeapparatus; and it consists in a construction which is especially adaptedfor separating liquids from' solid bodies. According to my invention thenew basket consists of a number of wire rings placed one above the otherand having loops through which wires or rods are inserted for connectingthe said wire rings, the whole thus forming a basket. With regard to abasket made from perforated sheet metal my new basket, having the samedurability, has the advantage that it is possible to separate the samequantity of material in a shorter time.

In the accompanying drawings Ihave shown by way of example in Figure 1 across-section of a basket constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2is an external view of a part broken out from such basket. Fig. 3 is asimilar external view showing a modification. Fig. 4 is an elevation ofthe basket of a centrifugal separator constructed in accordance withthis invention.

a represents rings having their ends fastened together in any convenientmannerfor instance, by welding. A number of such rings are placed oneabove the other, as shown in Fig.2, so as to form the height of thebasket. The rings areprovided with loops 1), formed by the wire itself,preferably in such a manner that the wire passes alternately over andunder the beginning of the loop, as it will be seen from the figures.Each loop may also consist of two or more windings, as it is shown inFig. 3, the size of the meshes thereby being enlarged.

0 represents rods or wires inserted into the loops in of all wire ringsa, placed one above the other, thus connecting the wire rings to form abasket. connected in any convenient manner with a bottom and a cover.

The described'basket is adapted to sustain the strongest strain arrivingin centrifugal work without changing its structure.

' Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of mysaid invention and the manner in which the same is to be performed, Ideclare that what I claim is- K 1. A basket for centrifugal separators,having in combination aseries of horizontal rings of wire, the wire ofeach ring being bent upon itself to form a pluralityofoutwardlyprojecting loops or eyes, and being bent in opposite directionsin forming adjacent loops, and metal rods extending through the alinedloops in the series of rings.

I 2. A basket for centrifugal separators, having in combination a seriesof vertical rods, and a series of rings of wire arranged one above theother and each extending about all of said vertical rods, the wire ofeach ring being bent upon itself adjacent each rod to form a pluralityof loops about said rod.

3. A basket for centrifugal separators, having in combination a seriesof vertical rods, and a series of rings of wire arranged one above theother and each extending about all of said vertical rods, the wire ofeach ring being bent upon itself to form a plurality of loops, eachsurrounding one of said rods, and

The ends or the rods 0 are so arranged that the sections of wire con-EDMUND OONSTANTIN KllOHENMEISTER.
